Oncology

Oncology is defined as the branch of medicine that deals with cancer. There are many different types of oncologists. Some specialize in the surgical removal of tumors (surgical oncologists); some focus on treating cancer medically with treatments such as chemotherapy (medical oncologists). Others specialize in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologists).
